Brewer break 3 million mark

The Milwaukee Brewers this morning reached 3 million total tickets sold for the 2008 season.

The Brewers currently have sold out 21 consecutive home games and have 37 sellouts on the season overall. Both marks are all-time highs for the franchise.

“Quite simply, 3 million fans is an incredible number and all credit goes to the fans who have demonstrated their support all season long,” said Brewers Executive Vice President Rick Schlesinger. “We thank each and every one of the fans who have come through the Miller Park gates this season and hope that they take as much pride in this record as we do.”

Through 65 home games, the Brewers average attendance is 37,994, which ranks 9th best in all of Major League Baseball. The team’s previous high for home attendance in one season was set last year at 2,869,144.

TICKET AVAILABILITY NOTICE: The current streak of sellouts at Miller Park is expected to continue through Monday’s game against the Mets, and advance sales for Tuesday’s game could possibly extend the streak through that night.

For fans looking for the best availability on the homestand, the sellout streak will likely end on Wednesday as a large number of tickets remain in most seating categories. There is also good availability for all three games of the Reds series (September 8-10).

Tickets remain for all future home games, but advance purchase is encouraged. Individual tickets may be purchased online at brewers.com, the Miller Park Box Office, all tickets.com outlets and by calling 414-902-4000 or 800-933-7890.
